Abney Park

Abney Park originally began in the early '90s with founder Robert Brown attending the University of London only to drop out, indulge himself in the underground electronic music scene and eventually relocate to Seattle during the peak of the grunge explosion. Brown stuck out of the city's music scene of flannels and monthly showers to form the dark electronica of October 27th and the EaTen. With the latter of the two experiencing a slight lineup change, Abney Park resulted in 1997 while continuing on the brooding industrial trip-hop of his prior projects. A self-titled, self-released full-length would capture this sound by 1998. ~ Mike DaRonco

I really wish they would put the older songs on here. like The Only one, Shadow of Life, Breathe, Twisted and Broken, Hush, and Tiny Monster. The bands new image (well not so new anymore)the Steam-punk stuff isn't bad but i've been listening for about 13 years now. still I prefer the old vs the new.

It's sad that I made a comment like 9 months ago about how Captain Robert had submitted the other albums for Pandora to put up... and they're still not here. He'd been under the impression that it should have only taken them a month to get included. What happened?

I wish we could listen to their other albums as well. I really like the Circus at the End of the World and End of Days albums.

Really, this is one of the best bands out there. Their style is so wacky that it just makes sense. Robert is such a cool guy, as well, I got to meet him yesterday. The whole band is just a splendid mix of adventure and those chills you get when you listen to them.

Captain Robert mentioned on social media like a week back that he'd submitted the whole Abney Park catalog to Pandora, and he was expecting it to take about a month for them to post it. I can't wait. I wonder if that includes the old and new Christmas albums too.

Abney park... Damnably good music. Ridiculously talented vocals. All in one band. Enough said

Went to a Steampunk Masquerade Ball in Dallas a couple weekends ago, and enjoyed it immensely. Marquis de Vaudeville and Steam Powered Giraffe played - both are wonderful bands! Also, check out on YouTube Voltaire and Rasputina. Great music.

Anyone hear steampunk revolution yet? Amazing song good lyrics. I love the sitar on this track. The crew is really getting the hang of it now. I think they started off a little rough on death of tragedy. Love the Cap'n

@austin.jones65 The Death of Tragedy is pre=steampunk. Like the new stuff, Pandora's just too gorram slow moving on getting Abney Park's stuff up, old and new alike. Keep bugging them, and maybe they'll get a clue?

Really? Well, this is mildly disappointing. i was really hoping to see End Of Days here, but I kind of figured that the Digital Ones would mess it up somehow. Oh, well. Back to sailing the Aether the old fashion way, with CDs and all.

Still waiting for more of the newer albums to get added. There are two newer albums, with a third on its way later this year. There are also some older albums that are still amazing, even if the band's changed a lot since their release.
